Rick Wakeman on M-Tron

[bubblabu]

Such talent

[movieapple]

Quite a long way away from joints and mushrooms, but good fun!

[barret707]

I love it when rick is doing the sad strings face :P

[captainshadowdreamer]

wow it sounds awesome.

[pinkfloydrule27]

it kills me how much i want the MTron plugin but i dont have 130 pounds to spend on software it's so expensive but worth every penny, and i cant wait till i have every penny

[wilecuyote]

the choir bit @ the end is waay cool!

[spiritswitchboard]

Great video. Would have loved to seen Rick's Mellotron Roast!

[ontherush77]

Rick Wakeman is too cool I want him to be my dad.

[nucleardude11]

rick is hilarious

[BonzoMcBonzo]

where can i get his!!??

[amilimax]

rick wakeman is king

[r3tr0r0ck3r]

I've got the new M-Tron pro. Un-fucking-believable!! I shall enjoy it for years to come :D

[caseyforever]

is this a keyboard or is it just software?! i'm not sure...

[xeractus]

Software- for PC and Mac.

[auggiedoggy]

Its software that runs on your PC or Mac. You need a keyboard with a MIDI OUT port, a MIDI/USB cable and a soundcard with a MIDI IN port. The soundcard should be a high quality low latency soundcard. This prevents delays in response time between your k/b and the s/w producing the sound.

[Shellewell]

@auggiedoggy is it possible to find a keyboard which actuallystors the sounds on it so that in a band siuation i dont have to bring a laptop onstage?

[hiphoproduction4life]

@caseyforever juss software

[13640]

rick wakeman is the God of keyboards

[derangedband]

this sounds very cool! :D

one thing i would really like too is a mini moog! i love watching those mid 70s rick/yes shows with him playing them with all of the little knobs and buttons--looks and sounds beautiful and theyve reissued them now - im mainly a guitarist myself but it never hurts to try everything

[TACOVAN]

When did David Brent start doing trade shows?

[DionysianOne]

It would've been great if someone shouted, "play 'In the court of the Crimson King'...WOOOOOOOO!"

[BonzoMcBonzo]

or greater, Genesis

[s0undch4s3r]

I have the M-Tron software....it really does sound like the real Mellotron...exactly like it.

Use stereo sound effects to get a huge choir sound. You won't be disappointed.

[stephenDB]

Great idea, the orignal sounded great but played like crap!!

[telecasterboy30]

does any one know if you can use the mtron by itself or plug it up with an amp or something?

[mynmyself]

i use it life, and i just plug my macbook direct to the console and from the console to the PA

[Brault1]

i'm considering getting that software, is it worth the money? how are the sounds on it? (especially strings :D)

[oS2006DE]

As a piece of software, there's really not much to get wrong.

There is, on the other hand, absolutely no substitute for the sounds. I mean, you could probably download a few samples and set up a rig with any simple wave sampler, but here it's all done and you have access to every sound ever played from a mellotron and then some. I don't regret buying it at all.

[phoenixstl1]

I dont think you will find anything closer to reproducing the sounds of the mellotron than this software. It's definitely worth the money IMO.

[fystasjoppheng]

I heard Rick Wakeman use to have two mellotrons wich he put on fire. He loved the sound but not the bad construction.

[jonnypatrick145]

my god that sounds incredible!!

[kkooss16]

lmao wakeman is like omg stop playing please

[roccopoiago]

The screen is mounted on that stand in the factory, that is a run-of-the-mill 30" apple cinema display hd

[Wyrehedd242]

how does that presenter have that screen mounted to that stand??? thats really cool...

[aquasloth]

I like how he talks about how he wished he still had his Mellotron. "Might have helped in my divorce."

I own the M-Tron plugin -- I recommend it highly to anyone that likes Mellotron sounds.

[fatihokur]

Rick,you are the best.. thanx DrMusicTech..

[overdrivethree]

cool to see Wakeman humorously relating the pros and cons of the original machine, doing the "Heart Of The Sunrise" intro. seems like a funny and cool guy. and of course, talented.

[hintofegg]

that presenter is annoying
